Evernorth Losses Spotlight Digital Asset Treasury Risks

The month-long slide in crypto prices hasn’t just hit major assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) — it’s also dealing heavy losses to digital asset treasury companies that built their business models around accumulating crypto on their balance sheets.

That’s one of the key takeaways from a recent social media analysis by onchain data company CryptoQuant, which cited XRP-focused treasury company Evernorth as a prime example of the risks in this sector.

Evernorth has reportedly seen unrealized losses of about $78 million on its XRP position, mere weeks after acquiring the asset. 

The pullback has also battered shares of Strategy (MSTR), the original Bitcoin treasury play. The company’s stock has dropped by more than 26% over the past month, as Bitcoin’s price has slumped, according to Google Finance data. CryptoQuant noted a 53% drop in MSTR shares from their all-time high. 

However, Strategy still holds a sizable unrealized gain on its Bitcoin reserves, with an average cost basis of roughly $74,000 per BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET.

Digital asset treasury companies: Echoes of the dot-com bubble

Digital asset treasury companies, or DATs, have come under mounting valuation pressure in recent months, with analysts cautioning that their market worth is increasingly tied to the performance of their underlying crypto holdings.

Some analysts, including those at venture capital firm Breed, argue that only the strongest players will endure, noting that Bitcoin-focused treasuries may be best positioned to avoid a potential “death spiral.” The risk, they say, stems from a collapse in the companies’ market net asset value (mNAV) — a metric comparing enterprise value to the market value of their cryptocurrency investments.

Others have compared the rise of digital asset treasury companies to the dot-com boom and bust of the early 2000s, a period driven by long-term visionaries and innovators, as well as opportunists chasing quick gains.

Ray Youssef, founder of peer-to-peer lending platform NoOnes, predicted that most digital asset treasuries will ultimately fade out or collapse as market realities set in.

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

The post Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crypto whale lost more than $6 million in staked Ethereum (stETH) and Aave-wrapped Bitcoin (aEthWBTC) after approving malicious signatures in a phishing scheme on Sept. 18, according to blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer. According to the firm, the attackers disguised their move as a routine wallet confirmation through “Permit” signatures, which tricked the victim into authorizing fund transfers without triggering obvious red flags. Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security company SlowMist, noted that the victim did not recognize the danger because the transaction required no gas fees. He wrote: “From the victim’s perspective, he just clicked a few times to confirm the wallet’s pop-up signature requests, didn’t spend a single penny of gas, and $6.28 million was gone.” How Permit exploits work Permit approvals were originally designed to simplify token transfers. Instead of submitting an on-chain approval and paying fees, a user can sign an off-chain message authorizing a spender. That efficiency, however, has created a new attack surface for malicious players. Once a user signs such a permit, attackers can combine two functions—Permit and TransferFrom—to drain assets directly. Because the authorization takes place off-chain, wallet dashboards show no unusual activity until the funds move. As a result, the assets are gone when the approval executes on-chain, and tokens are redirected to the attacker’s wallet. This loophole has made permit exploits increasingly attractive for malicious actors, who can siphon millions without needing complex hacks or high-cost gas wars. Phishing losses The latest theft highlights a wider trend of escalating phishing campaigns. Scam Sniffer reported that in August alone, attackers stole $12.17 million from more than 15,200 victims. That figure represented a 72% jump in losses compared with July. According to the firm, the most significant share of August’s damages came from three large accounts that accounted for nearly half…
